1 Tasting Note
I finally bought a clear glass Nordic Tea Mug (16oz), wanting a mug with larger capacity than my go-to grey Perfect Tea Mug (12oz) and something that would allow me to watch hand-rolled tea leaves delicately unfold for a bit of a show. The packaging was absolutely lovely, but the second I got the mug out I was incredibly unimpressed. I am used to heavy, sturdy mugs, and this is thin, THIN glass. It feels cheap and I’m extremely worried that its heat-holding capacity is next to nil. If I had known the glass was that thin I would have never ordered the mug, but rigged something up with my thick-walled clear mugs instead. As a personal note I’m not very fond of the Davids Tea insignia at the bottom – I want to be looking at the colour of the tea when I drink, not staring at a corporate logo. The only plus is that it’s dishwasher and microwave safe. Unless you can gulp down tea quickly and don’t mind the cheap feeling of the mug, I would give the clear glass version of this a pass and stick with the ceramics.
